rtc: initialize emulated RTC from environment variable
Up to now the emulated RTC is initialized using the U-Boot build time.
With this patch the environment variable 'rtc_emul_epoch' can be used to
provide a better initial time. The variable is a decimal string with
the number of seconds since 1970-01-01. Here is an example where the RTC
had not been probed yet:
=> setenv rtc_emul_epoch 1610109000
=> date
Date: 2021-01-08 (Friday) Time: 12:30:00
If the variable does not exist, the U-Boot build time is used as fallback.
The environment variable may be set when shutting down the operating system
if the U-Boot environment is exposed to the OS (cf. ENV_IS_IN_FAT and
ENV_IS_IN_EXT4).
